Portrait - Village Of The Fallen Angel lyrics

We're all doomed That's what the old ones say The old people in the village by the hangman's bay Though centuries of time, from generation to generation The legend has lived on The legend of the fallen angel His eyes will burn a hole in the souls of those who leave His claws will take the lives of those who try Every seventh year, a virgin must be given Every seventh year they sacrifice And if they should avoid the sacrificial rite They're all doomed to burn in Hell Oh mighty angel, we drain this life of thee We drink the wine of wisdom and eternal liberty Let your mighty darkness be the torch of our lives Let us find our way, our path through your light The few who dared to try, the brave ones the defied Was never more seen alive The results of their quest; examples of the past Examples of what follows sinful deeds To every little child, the stories told The stories about the fallen angel's light Oh mighty angel, we drain this life of thee We drink the wine of wisdom and eternal liberty Let your mighty darkness be the torch of our lives Let us find our way, our path through your light
